>Nice idea, interesting project, next time please contact me before.
It's impossible to predict that one's project may go viral.
>As a single user, you broke the service for everyone.
Or you did by not having a high enough fd limit. Blaming sites when using it too much when you advertise there is no limit is not cool. It's not like wplace themselves were maliciously hammering the API.
Do you expect him just to let the service remain broken or to scale up to infinite cost to himself on this volunteer project? He worked with the project author to find a solution that works for both and does not degrade service for every other user, under literally no obligation to do anything at all. This isn’t Anthropic deciding to throttle users paying hundreds of dollars a month for a subscription. Constructive criticism is one thing, but entitlement to something run by an individual volunteer for free is absurd.
the funny part is that his service didnt break- cloudflares cache caught 99% of the requests. just wanted to feel powerful and break the latest viral trend.
You are so entitled... Because of you most nice things have "no limits but...". Not cool stress testing someone's infrastructure. Not cool. The author of this post is more than understanding, tried to fix it and offered a solution even after blocking them. On a free service.
